I assume by "if this pattern continues", you mean that the two figures are similar, or else we can't find anything about the new perimeter.
The area of two similar figures is proportional to the square of their corresponding sides.
Since perimeter is linear, .....
1/5^2 = 96/x^2
x^2= 96(25) = 2400
x = √2400 = 20√6 or appr 49
